"Accounting for almost 90 per cent of global businesses, MSMEs must have full access to the global

These enterprises are also important agents of change, with the flexibility and singularity of focus
required to drive sustainability across value chains," he added.
The EcoMark certification will be based on ISO standards and will be overseen by a central body
headquartered in the UAE.

requirement guidelines and a roadmap to progress and a standardised application process and

Al Zeyoudi said the announcement builds on the progress made at COP’s first-ever Trade Day held
in Dubai last month, where the UAE hosted a series of critical conversations on the contribution of
trade to the climate change challenge.
